I made Urasugawara in hanafuda.
Urasugawara is a yaku formed with the 5-point cards of January, February, and March.
The term combines 裏 (ura, 'back' or 'reverse') with 菅原 (Sugawara), a reference to Sugawara no Michizane, a Heian-period scholar and poet associated with plum blossoms (February) and the first three months. The exact origin of the name in hanafuda is uncertain.
